At what temp do you keep your house in fall/winter?

[rosiebear]

Thermostat wars happening here. What temperature is standard at your house? Are you, your partner, your kids (whichever apply) equally comfortable at that temp?

[Pilsy]

72, sometimes 73. I run cold, and I'm uncomfortable if it's cooler than that. My husband runs hot but is also less sensitive and doesn't seem to mind.

My 4-year-old runs warm and prefers to sleep without pajamas, but she doesn't complain about the temp in general.

In the winter we keep our thermostat at 68 during the day and 64 at night. H likes it on the chilly side, I tolerate it and wear layers and slippers around the house.

In the fall I’m inclined to turn off the thermostat, open the windows and enjoy the fresh air, but H complains about hearing noise through the open windows.

Currently it's between 68 and 70. I like it on the cooler side. It'll go up a bit come winter.

68, I'm trying to get used to 67 this year.

[scm1011]

65 during waking hours. We all run warm.

[mich1]

65-67° during the day, drops to 58° at night.

[rosiebear]

To answer my own question, 68 during the day; 60 while we sleep. H runs hot so I basically live under an afghan all year round. If he’s comfortable, I’m freezing. If I’m comfortable, he’s roasting.

64 during the day, 60 overnight. I prefer it chilly anyway and we have an oil furnace, which is costly to run. H would like it closer to 67-68 but his frugal side wins out.

66 day and night. We all wear slippers and sweaters a lot.

[pandora89]

68 during the night and 70-72 during the day.

[pinkdutchtulips]

65-68 when we're home, 60 at night and when we're out

[mags]

68

[cjcouple]

66 overnight-68 day. yes, we are all comfortable. It is cooler, so usually we have long sleeve or sweatshirt on but that is what we prefer. if it is a low wind chill/single digits I do bump to 70 or put on my elec fireplace

[icedcoffee]

68 when we’re home and 60 when we’re not. We used to turn it down at night but now we have a toddler who can’t really use a blanket well enough. When he’s older we will resume the practice.

[BicycleBride]

My preference would be 62 but because we have little kids I’ve agreed to 67 with me sneaking it down to 65 and my H who wfh in his basement office stomping up the stairs at regular intervals to put it back.

[goldengirlz]

We keep it as 69 when we're home. But it's rare for the outside temperature to get lower than the 40s, even in the dead of winter. Highs are almost over 55. So the thermostat isn't working as hard.

[Deleted]

I keep it warm year round, so when it's actually cold I keep it around 75. You people with your 60 something temps are crazy.

[RoxMonster]

Usually around 67-68

[pierogigirl]

It's 64 in my house right now. We have not turned on the heat yet. I like to see if we can hold out until Nov.1 since the a/c just got turned off a couple of weeks ago (when the 90 plus temps went away and the nights got cool). When it gets really cold out, we'll turn it on and keep it at 66-68 degrees.

[cabbagecabbage]

68 is my default

Yep.

[lexxasaurus]

Mid 60s. I like it cold in the house. I just live in leggings and hoodies.

[namasteak]

75 during the day and 72 at night most of the year. When we actually need heat 68 during the day and 62 at night.

Us too, but year round  

[Leeham Rimes]

Air conditioning is always set to 75. I don’t think I’ve turned the heater on in over a year or so so I don’t remember.

[nomad100]

64. All the time.

It is less than that in my house right now but I refuse to turn on the boiler in September. Can't do it.

I will just put on more clothes and more blankets on the bed.

[fumbalina]

I think where you are is relevant. I live in Houston and keep my heat at 72 but I keep my a/c at 76-78 which is what we need about ten months of the year.

[krystee]

We keep it at a constant 68. Our upstairs is FREEZING compared to the downstairs (how?! Doesn't heat rise?!), and I'm afraid we'd be found frozen in our beds if I went lower overnight.
